Spring is Here—Susannah McCorkle (4:28)

Roland
He stepped away from the doorway and drew in a deep breath. The scents of new grass and budding leaves and spring filled his senses. It was damn near intoxicating.
The winter had been long this year. In more than just the normal. So much had happened. So many people changing and moving and being. Winter was always so busy. Luckily the lazy days of summer were approaching. They were just around the corner.
But then…summer could be just as busy. Different but still just as busy.
But spring was here now and that was what mattered. New life. New air. New everything.
He grinned and breathed deeply again. Time to get the party started. "Meredith," he called back into the house. "Everyone's waiting."
"Coming, Uncle Ro," she called back. Moments later she emerged from the house, a vision in her ankle length white dress and blue and gray flowers in her hands. Sparkling green eyes met his own. "I'm ready."
Roland grinned at the young woman he'd unofficially adopted as his niece over twenty years ago. "And he's waiting," he laid her hand over his elbow. He led her down the flower strewn aisle of grass, past their friends, co-workers and family to where Mark awaited them near the cliff with the Reverend.
